Join members of the Jewish, Chinese, Muslim, and Hindu communities for an evening of bridge-building through humour in Toronto
We are only a few days away from Uniting Through Laughter: An Evening with Yuk Yuk's Co-Founder Mark Breslin in Toronto on Thursday, Feb. 6th at 7pm ET.
The evening is a bid to build bridges through humour and is being presented by AVI, Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation, Canadian Chinese Political Affairs Committee, Canadian Organization for Hindu Heritage Education, Coalition of Hindus of North America, The Council of Muslims Against Antisemitism, and Muslims Facing Tomorrow.
For those of you who don't know him, Mark Breslin is a Canadian entrepreneur, producer, and stand-up comedian best known as the co-founder and CEO of Yuk Yuk's, Canada's largest chain of comedy clubs. Breslin opened the first Yuk Yuk's in 1976, which expanded to over 15 clubs across Canada.
Mark has produced television programs, been a film actor, written books, and worked in radio. In 2017, Breslin was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada for his contributions to Canadian comedy.
Tickets are $18. The address will be shared upon registration.

Also on Thursday, AVI is joining one dozen organizations in co-sponsoring a web talk presented by Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation (CAEF).
